Goodnight New Orleans Lyrics - Singles - Adam Wheatley

Goodnight New Orleans 

You took me in and took me down 

Wish I had known 

I wanted nothing more 

Than to see your sunrise open up my eyes 

But the day won't come 

Love only rides on hope so long 

Before there's work to be done 

Goodnight New Orleans 

Saint Charles is fading from my mind 

No, you're not my home 

Your sky was burning 

With colors that have paled to black and white 

Yeah, your fire is gone 

Love only rides on hope so long 

Before there's work to be done 

Goodnight New Orleans 

I'm leaving Jackson Square behind 

No, I won't come around 

Love only rides on hope so long 

Before there's work to be done 

Time keeps on singing me her song 

I guess ours is gone
